Original Knottie Weddings! (Throwback Thursday)

This #tbt (Throwback Thursday, duh!) we’re getting nostalgic about The Knot’s early years (did you know that The Knot was founded in 1996?)! Since then, we’ve featured thousands of real weddings, with new weddings every week!

Original Knotties rocked the princess top knot, while today’s Knotties often opt for a looser, more tousled look. What’s for certain is that a chic and stylish updo will never go out of style.

Escort cards are extremely easy to personalize and an excellent way to bring in your wedding day colors -- from calligraphed seating cards set atop a textured linen to apples tagged with each guest's name or small personalized bundles of lavender tied off with string. Other ways to display escort cards: Pin them to a clothesline, post them on a board covered in color-coordinated ribbon, or incorporate them into your cocktail hour using personalized stirrers tagged with guests' names.
